Troubleshooting License Key Issues
NeuroExplorer requires a physical USB license key or a software (cloud) license key for operation.
If you purchased a permanent NeuroExplorer license, you will get a USB license key.
If you purchased a NeuroExplorer subscription, you will get an email message with the subscription (cloud) license key.
Sentinel USB License Key:

Dinkey USB License Key:

Make sure to install the correct version of NeuroExplorer.
If you purchased a USB license key, please:
Download and install NeuroExplorer5Setup64.exe.
If you purchased a NeuroExplorer subscription, please:
Download and install NeuroExplorerSubscriptionSetup.exe.
Sentinel drivers must be installed to enable communication between NeuroExplorer and Sentinel license keys. These drivers are installed when you run NeuroExplorer setup (NeuroExplorer5Setup64.exe).
Note: Neither Dinkey license keys nor subscription license keys require Windows drivers.
